Chapter 344 A Hand Reaching Out from the Thunderclouds
The group from Kunlun Academy was led by an elegantly dressed elderly woman wearing a monocle, with a middle-aged man and woman standing beside her, along with seven students in Kunlun Academy uniforms.
Unlike Shenwu Academy, Kunlun Academy's student uniforms are mainly blue and white, embroidered with flowing water and cloud patterns.
"Vice Dean, do you know who the instructor leading the Shenwu Academy team this time is?"
The middle-aged man asked the elderly woman at the head of the group.
"I don't know."
The old woman named Yun Jiulan shook her head.
"They seem to be deliberately keeping it a secret. Maybe they want to surprise us."
"Hmph, we've reached a critical stage, and they're still hiding things. We don't even know who's in charge of leading the students abroad. How can we feel at ease?"
The middle-aged woman, with a stern expression, spoke coldly, clearly expressing her strong disapproval.
"Their claim of keeping it a secret is, in my opinion, nothing more than them being arrogant because they rely on the reputation of the Great Xia First Academy and think they don't need to tell us anything."
"After all, they have a demigod in charge, so they certainly have the ability to do so."
Yun Jiulan said calmly, "But fortunes change, and the only constant in the world is change. Just because it is the number one academy in Great Xia now doesn't mean it will be in the future."
"Now that Shenwu Academy is closed, our Kunlun Academy is growing stronger and more prosperous. Our faculty and student resources have reached an unprecedented level. If another Great Xia King emerges, it is very likely that we can pull Shenwu Academy, which has been at the top for two hundred years, down from its position as the number one academy."
"This national war is a great opportunity to showcase the strength of our school's top talents to the world."
"Chen Xi, your chance to make a name for yourself is today. Don't let down the Kunlun Academy's dedication to nurturing you. Do you understand?"
The seven students are in the very center.
A white-haired youth with a restrained aura and an ordinary appearance, who showed no particular special qualities, nodded.
"It's not just him. There's also Zhang Chu, Li Baishuang, Mo Ping, and Xia Qinghou, Qin Nansun, Tang Yi, who are still freshmen... You all need to work hard too. Although you weren't selected this time, with your S-level talent, as long as you work diligently, you have a chance to be selected for the next national war."
Hearing Yun Jiulan's words.
Several students nodded in agreement.
Although some people were still unwilling, upon seeing the white-haired boy at the head of the group, they couldn't help but sigh, and their clenched fists involuntarily loosened.
The differences between people are enormous.
Even though they are already considered the most outstanding talents in the eyes of the world, they still find it difficult to reach their level.
The gap is too big.
This junior student named Chen Xi is only twenty years old, yet he is already a LV59 half-step Grandmaster martial artist.
Not only is he the dean's personal disciple, but he is also an SSS-level talent holder!
He mastered a supernatural technique from Kunlun Academy that no one had learned in hundreds of years.
What's even more legendary is that he came from humble beginnings. He was an orphan who survived from the border. Before becoming a martial artist, he had already experienced countless life-and-death situations. He became a martial artist in a deadly battle with demons. He was an unparalleled genius who grew up in the midst of brutal killing!
"Currently, among the five members of the national war team, there is Senior Chen Xi and An Tianzong from Civilization University. He is a support class, so it's hard to compare. I heard that the other three are from Shenwu Academy, and they were personally selected by the team leader. I wonder what kind of people they are..." a girl said softly, with some curiosity and anticipation.
"Hmph, no matter who those guys are, among people of the same age, there's no one stronger than Senior Chen Xi!"
Carrying an iron sword, Qin Nansun, now a fourth-level martial artist, snorted coldly, his eyes filled with deep admiration and respect as he looked at Chen Xi's back, clearly acting like a little fanboy.
In his view.
Among the twenty-year-old generation of the Great Xia Dynasty, there is simply no one who can surpass Senior Chen Xi!
He's invincible!
"Is that really the case?"
Although Xia Qinghou did not blindly worship Chen Xi like his fellow townsman and classmate, he also acknowledged Chen Xi's strength.
"If that guy were alive, perhaps Senior Chen Xi would feel some pressure too..."
Qin Nansun frowned upon hearing this. "That guy?"
"Have you forgotten? That's the guy who made a name for himself in the martial arts exam, surpassing you and me, and becoming the top scorer in the country..." Xia Qinghou said quietly.
Qin Nansun's pupils shrank instantly, and a pair of indifferent and chillingly calm black eyes appeared in his mind.
as well as……
Just before Nanjiang City was on the verge of destruction, a mecha piloting a demon god descended and saved the frail bodies of millions of people.
He is dead.
Qin Nansun said with a gloomy face.
"But there are reports online that he is still alive and has returned to Daxia."
Xia Qinghou said lightly.
Qin Nansun couldn't help but clench his fists.
Of course he saw it too.
But he refused to believe it and didn't want to admit it.
Deep down, his jealousy, fear, and awe of that person far outweighed his admiration for Chen Xi.
"Boom!!"
The middle-aged man noticed that the sky in the far distance had become covered with thunderclouds, and thunder was booming.
Phew——!
A sharp, menacing sound pierced the sky, coming from thousands of miles away. The sound waves reverberated through the void, carrying endless anger and violence.
Everyone's expression changed in surprise.
"It is the Wind and Thunder Sparrow King."
"That's what the middle-aged man said."
Qin Nansun and the other students looked astonished. They knew that this ferocious beast was a tyrant on the distant plains, an eighth-tier lord-level monster, and few people would dare to provoke it.
But at this moment, it seemed to be enraged by something, an unprecedented rage.
"Crackling sound!!"
Under the watchful eyes of Qin Nansun and others.
The distant sky was cleaved apart by countless dazzling golden bolts of lightning.
But then...
An enormous hand emerged from the thunderclouds, emanating terrifying aura that dyed the entire sky red.
An extremely terrifying surge of energy spread out, sweeping across the distant plains, causing countless creatures to prostrate themselves in fear and trembling.
Whether it was the middle-aged male or female teacher, or Yun Jiulan, the vice dean of Kunlun Academy, all of them had a slight change in expression.
Chen Xi was equally astonished, feeling a powerful pressure that shook the heavens and earth.
Phew——!
The angry, fierce cry of the Wind and Thunder Sparrow King turned into a horrified and terrified wail.
Its true form seemed to be bound by an invisible force and unable to escape. It was grabbed by the giant hand of blood and qi that emerged from the thundercloud and crushed in one swift motion.
